I don’t have much time, but this is a recording of what has been happening; Dubai is one big torture experiment, those that know the truth are being hunted down and murdered. Lives have been lost, there is death everywhere, the city is on fire. This is supposed to be Paradise; We were deceived, it is all a lie they lured us here saying there was opportunity, they told us we would be safe. When we arrived, we had never seen such beauty, grand buildings, clear ocean water, extravagate plant life, exotic animals, I heard this was how it used to be in other places before the earthquake, America is a waste land filled with death and destruction. When we entered Dubai, we were greeted by the most beautiful people I have ever seen, with a grandiose smile welcoming us in giving us a home. They separated us according to our Skill and Talents, those with talent went to Hollywood a luxurious part of town where everything is so much better and they always seem so happy, no one is sad in Hollywood; Hollywood is the place where the elite live as well as the exceptional Actors, Producers, Directors and Models. I have a background in medicine, so I was assigned to the Medics. Most people are not allowed to leave their district unless they are working, although we have a little more freedom than the labor workers, the medics and nurses are assigned to a Doctor, each Doctor has about three or four nurses or medics under their supervision. We can travel anywhere with permission from the Doc; but when dealing with patients we are not allowed to give diagnoses, we can only transport patients, soon we started having patients who couldn’t remember who they were or where they were from, and it only got worst from there, we had a patient who forgot his native tongue and could only speak Latin, when we asked his wife what happen she said he came home one night and could no longer speak English but was speaking Latin, The Bots came and got Doctor Stevenson when he came back home he didn’t recognize his own wife and kids, his wife stated she saw nothing in his eyes when she looked at him. Then the disappearances started happening, followed by blood curdling screams in the middle of the night. We are told not to ask questions, yet the Bots and Overseers are always smiling as if nothing is going on. But people started asking questions, they stopped working, most of the police force demanded answers which lead to civil war, the Bots had too much fire power wiping most of the police force out, forcing the survivors to go into hiding, those of us who refuse to comply are hunted and executed in the public squares.
